Chapter 627: Shadow Dragon, Ancestor Devouring Spirit Mouse (Second Update, seeking votes)

When it comes down to it, Dou Yuanbin is merely a Prince and cannot represent the Imperial Family; this is also the main reason why the Langya Liu Clan is not afraid of a falling out.

In just over half a minute, Li Zhangsheng's carriage was about to enter the place where they had set their ambush.

The next moment, six Demon Beasts that had been concealing their aura rushed out from their hiding spots, launching long-range offensives one after another.

In an instant, six beams of light, light orbs, and light blades of different colors were released, rushing toward Li Zhangsheng's carriage.

Whether it was Dou Yuanbin, Liu Zongtang, or Liu Xuguang, they each possessed two Demon Beasts.

Among them, Liu Xuguang had the greatest strength because he possessed an Epic-quality Dragon Python.

At the same time, the three Pseudo-Kings launched the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique from three directions, and the space within a radius of nearly ten thousand meters instantly solidified, leaving Li Zhangsheng no chance to escape.

If it were only Li Zhangsheng, he would inevitably have to pay some price under the sneak attack of these three Pseudo-Kings.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng was not fighting alone; in fact, he only needed to watch the battle.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng activated the Purple Flame Barrier and the temporarily arranged Defense Restriction, completely wrapping the carriage, including the two dragons, inside.

Inside the carriage cabin, the Demon Beasts, having been on guard for a long time, acted one after another; they also released light orbs and light beams of various colors, completely neutralizing the offensive of the enemy's six Demon Beasts.

In the night sky, countless energy tides surged, but they were useless against the heavily protected carriage and were easily dissipated into nothingness.

"What kind of petty thieves dare to act wantonly in the Academy District? Surrender at once!"

As Xu Wenhua's voice rang out, the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants flew out from the carriage cabin. They summoned their most powerful Demon Beasts, and together with the Demon Beasts that came out from the cabin, there were nearly thirty in total.

Among them, Ning Bizhen's Three-Legged Fire Crow, Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, and Cold Jade Rabbit, Xu Wenhua's Archangel, Six-Winged Frost Centipede, and One-Legged Cloud-Top Crane, and Zhang Kaishuo's Flying Alpaca were all Demon Beasts.

Additionally, Xu Wenhua also had a Pseudo-Demon King-level Red Dragon.

With such strength, they could naturally easily suppress the six Demon Beasts of the three Pseudo-Kings.

"Not good!"

From the moment the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants rushed out of the carriage, Dou Yuanbin and the others were stunned, and their expressions changed drastically.

They had considered various contingencies, but they had never thought of this possibility.

Looking at the cards on the table, they had no chance of winning at all.

Of course, unless they fought to the death without retreating, it would be equally difficult for the other side to keep them there.

"Attack!"

In the sky, the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants commanded their Demon Beasts to begin their counterattack.

Chirp~

The Three-Legged Fire Crow was wreathed in red and gold flames, appearing as if it had transformed into a giant firebird, pouncing toward Dou Yuanbin's Azure Wind Beast.

Moo~ Meow~

The Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast and the Cold Jade Rabbit rushed together toward Liu Xuguang's Epic Dragon Python; they were not the Dragon Python's match one-on-one, but it was different two-on-one.

Hiss~ Roar~

The Six-Winged Frost Centipede and the Red Dragon simultaneously pounced toward Liu Zongtang's Shadow Dragon; this was a dragon without flesh and blood, looking like a large, blurry, dragon-shaped shadow.

When a giant dragon falls in the Yinying Weimian, it may become a Shadow Dragon; this is a special type of giant dragon mentioned in the same breath as the Bone Dragon, Underworld Dragon, and Abyssal Dragon.

Compared to ordinary giant dragons, a Shadow Dragon can almost completely immunize itself against most physical damage, yet it still possesses the elemental abilities it had while alive; this is the characteristic of a Shadow Dragon.

Unfortunately, a Shadow Dragon without flesh and blood is almost impossible to evolve and is entirely determined by its form while alive; its melee combat ability is relatively limited, and its strength is relatively weaker than when it was alive.

On the other side, the Archangel, the One-Legged Cloud-Top Crane, and the Flying Alpaca entangled the remaining three Demon Beasts.

As for the nearly twenty Lord-level Demon Beasts, they mainly focused on support or harassment.

Not only that, but the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants also cast Secret Techniques to strengthen their respective main battle Demon Beasts.

From the very beginning, they had been prepared, catching Dou Yuanbin, Liu Zongtang, and Liu Xuguang off guard.

Under a targeted plan, before the three of them could react, the six Demon Beasts had already suffered some injuries.

Among them, the Shadow Dragon was the most miserable; although the Shadow Dragon could immunize itself against most physical damage, the Six-Winged Frost Centipede and the Red Dragon had no intention of engaging it in melee combat at all, instead using long-range offensives to score hits time and again.

Every time it hit the Shadow Dragon, its color would become a little dimmer; when the Shadow Dragon completely disappeared, that would be the moment of its death.

Besides the Shadow Dragon, the Azure Wind Beast targeted by the Three-Legged Fire Crow was also in a rather sorry state; regardless of quality, race, or Bloodline, the Three-Legged Fire Crow held the advantage, and coupled with being caught off guard, the Azure Wind Beast suffered not-insignificant injuries.

"Go!"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the three of them naturally did not have the appetite to continue resisting, commanding their respective Demon Beasts to flee.

Because the three of them were standing in three directions, with Li Zhangsheng's carriage and a large number of Demon Beasts in the middle, and because the space had been solidified by their respective Dimensional Anchors, they could only run their own ways, taking their respective two Demon Beasts to escape.

"Except for Changsheng, everyone split up to pursue; gather here again in half an hour!"

The Yuanling Academy Seven Giants had naturally anticipated such a scene, and they quickly divided into three camps.

Angry at Dou Yuanbin's actions, Ning Bizhen mounted the Three-Legged Fire Crow and chose to pursue Dou Yuanbin independently; with her strength, there was naturally no possibility of defeat.

Xu Wenhua took Xu Fanghua to pursue Liu Xuguang, and Zhang Kaishuo took Ning Wei, Lu Qian, and Qian Yuanfei to pursue Liu Zongtang together.

In this way, only Li Zhangsheng was left here.

After they left, Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment, summoned Aixi, and had Aixi perform the White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique, flying rapidly toward the direction of Yecheng; he prepared to wait there for the rabbit.

As for whether he could run into one of them, that would just depend on his luck.

In the distant sky, the Three-Legged Golden Crow transformed into a red and gold rainbow, flying rapidly in pursuit of Dou Yuanbin.

Even if the Azure Wind Beast fled with all its might, how could it easily escape the pursuit of the Three-Legged Golden Crow?

In just half a minute, the Three-Legged Golden Crow caught up from behind; this place was already outside the coverage of the Dimensional Anchor.

"Bitch!"

Dou Yuanbin cursed inwardly in anger, but he could not help but continue to flee; not only did he believe he could not beat Ning Bizhen, but he was also terrified that others might be pursuing from behind.

Four Symbols Starry Sky Image Prohibition!

At the first opportunity, Ning Bizhen immediately cast the divine ability from the completed Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art, wanting to bind Dou Yuanbin in place.

In the process of casting, Ning Bizhen could feel her Mental Power draining rapidly.

The Four Symbols Constellations in the sky flickered slightly with brilliance; from this angle, they seemed to have become a little larger.

Tonight the starlight is brilliant, just enough to unleash the full power of the Four Symbols Starry Sky Image Prohibition.

In an instant, four star pillars, each dozens of meters thick, appeared out of thin air and landed at the four cardinal directions of Dou Yuanbin, with the phantom images of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise coiled upon them.

In a split second, hundreds of star-light chains as thick as a child's arm took shape and flew rapidly toward Dou Yuanbin.

Once locked by the star-light chains, Dou Yuanbin would likely suffer greatly, and there was even the possibility of being killed in one fell swoop by the enraged Ning Bizhen.

Dou Yuanbin dared not gamble; although he was a dignified Third Prince, he could not guarantee that Ning Bizhen would spare him.

At the critical moment, Dou Yuanbin performed Instant Movement, taking the other Demon Beast he held in his arms and shifting a thousand meters away.

Before Dou Yuanbin could recall the Azure Wind-Born Beast, hundreds of star-light chains bound it tightly.

Crack— crack— crack—

The Azure Wind-Born Beast struggled violently, shattering countless star-light chains, and Ning Bizhen's face turned pale rapidly; judging by Ning Bizhen's Mental Power, she could bind the Azure Wind-Born Beast for at most a few breaths of time.

Even so, a few breaths of time were more than enough.

The next moment, the Cold Jade Rabbit and the subsequently arriving Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast launched a joint offensive, spitting out a water column and a breath of Ice Breath.

Just as it was about to hit, Ning Bizhen instantly withdrew the Four Symbols Starry Sky Image Prohibition, and immediately after, the Azure Wind-Born Beast was struck by the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's water column, followed by the Ice Breath, which instantly froze the drenched Azure Wind-Born Beast into a massive iceberg that fell straight down from high in the air.

Because it was frozen, Dou Yuanbin could not recall the Azure Wind-Born Beast.

Dou Yuanbin naturally wanted to rescue the Azure Wind-Born Beast, but he was entangled by the Three-Legged Fire Crow, and crucially, Ning Bizhen had released a Dimensional Anchor, solidifying the surrounding space.

Dou Yuanbin's other Demon Beast was named the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat; it was not only no weaker than the Three-Legged Fire Crow, but could even gain the upper hand.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat (Mature Stage, Demi-God Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King 6th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Intermediate Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Heaven-Devouring Rat (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

This was another Spirit Beast of the Sovereign race; because it was a Demi-God Beast, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat could reach the Demon King level as soon as it reached adulthood, so its strength could be imagined.

However, Dou Yuanbin needed a certain amount of time to shake off the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

Unfortunately, what the Azure Wind-Born Beast lacked was also time.

The Azure Wind-Born Beast had already been severely injured, and now, having been hit consecutively by the offensives of the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast and the Cold Jade Rabbit, even though the Mystery of Guard had exempted part of the damage, it still suffered heavy injuries and was tragically frozen.

As it fell from the sky, a large number of cracks appeared on the massive iceberg.

Whoosh—

Before the iceberg could crash to the ground, it shattered with a boom, turning into countless ice crystal fragments that scattered everywhere.

Seeing that the Azure Wind-Born Beast was about to be recalled by Dou Yuanbin, at this very moment, the Cold Jade Rabbit descended from the sky and slapped the Azure Wind-Born Beast on the forehead with one claw.

"No!"

Dou Yuanbin let out a near-desperate cry, but how could he have time to rescue the Azure Wind-Born Beast at this moment?

Bang—

A dull sound rang out, and the Azure Wind-Born Beast let out a scream filled with unwillingness, opened its mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with white brain matter, fell straight from the low air onto the ground, its four limbs twitched violently, and it breathed its last.
